Undergraduate Accreditation

The University of Houston BSEE and BSCpE programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org. In accordance with ABET requirements, we have developed, in consultation with our constituencies, educational objectives for our Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering Programs.

Program Educational Objectives for BSEE Degree

Preamble: Graduates of the Electrical Engineering Program of the UH Cullen College of Engineering obtain employment in a wide variety of electrical engineering fields. Some further their education to pursue careers in research, law, medicine, business, or other areas. Regardless of the career path they choose, we believe that an education in electrical engineering will prepare them for a productive professional experience, and we strive to provide them with the technical, team-working, communication, and professional skills necessary for success.

We establish the following Program Educational Objectives for our Electrical Engineering Program.

Our graduates will meet or exceed the expectations of their employers in the electrical engineering workplace, or in other professional careers of their choosing.

Our graduates will be prepared to pursue advanced studies in electrical engineering or in other disciplines if they so choose.

Our graduates will engage in self-development activities that will allow them to adapt to evolving technical challenges and changing career opportunities.
